Earning a black belt is something we hold in high regard. Our black belts are not given – they are earned through years of commitment, dedication, perseverance, and personal transformation. More than just a belt, a black belt represents the culmination of a students karate journey and is an honour to receive. To earn a black belt at our academy, students must show not only high quality karate technique and fitness level, but more importantly, high moral character and contribute positively to their community.
Please see below for our lists of black belts. All students on the list below have shown high levels of self-discipline, focus, self-confidence, and of course, “kindness, courage, and excellence” in their daily lives. We are extremely proud of our black belts.
